Errors resulting from magnification variations of optical system are largely generated in threemensional shape measurements based on depth-from-focus. Focus measures are wrongly or ambiguously tracted, due to the variations. In this paper, a DFF-based methodology considering these magnification riations is proposed to make accurate measurements in surface morphology with high depth discontinuit...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this hospital-based prospective study was to evaluate the diagnostic ability of breast cancer screening in Korean middle-aged women using age, ultrasonography, mammography, and magnification mammography, which are commonly used in most hospitals. METHODS A total of 21 patents were examined using ultrasonography, mammography, and magnification mammography, and their data ...

We present the design and performance of a highresolution, high charge sensitivity imaging camera system for the APS linac beam profile measurement. Electron beam distribution is converted to light intensity distribution using standard YAG or optical transition radiation (OTR) screens. Two CCD cameras share the light through a beam splitter, each with its own imaging optics. One camera is norma...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of enhanced visual acuity in evaluation of polishing composite resins. Material and Methods: Forty-five composite samples were used. Finishing and polishing discs were used to produce samples with different surface roughness values (Ra). The observers examined the resin surfaces according to the following scale: 1: Smooth (0.01-0....

. Until recently, endodontic therapy was performed using tactile sensitivity, and the only way to see inside the root canal system was to take a radiograph. Performing endodontic therapy entailed ‘‘working blind,’’ that is, most of the effort was taken using only tactile skills with minimum visual information available. Before the introduction of magnification devices the presence of a problem ...

This thesis describes the development and testing of the Optical Coherence Tomography Microsurgical Augmented Reality System (OCT-MARS). This system allows surgeons to view real-time medical image data as an in situ overlay within the surgical field. There are a number of clinical applications for which real time, in situ visualization of otherwise transparent structures of the eye would be ben...
